The popular alternative search engine, Duck Duck Go – an engine designed to compete against giants like Google, and emphasizing privacy and no digital profiling – is now joining the censorship club.
Duck Duck Go’s founder and CEO Gabriel Weinberg announced in a string of posts on social media that the search engine will now burry websites that post and promote what the company deems “Russian Disinformation.”
Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create. #StandWithUkraine️
At DuckDuckGo, we’ve been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.
In addition to down-ranking sites associated with disinformation, we also often place news modules and information boxes at the top of DuckDuckGo search results (where they are seen and clicked the most) to highlight quality information for rapidly unfolding topics.
DuckDuckGo’s mission is to make simple privacy protection accessible to all. Privacy is a human right and transcends politics, which is why about 100 million people around the world use DuckDuckGo. (We don’t have an exact count since we don’t track people.)
He stated
One Twitter user replied to Weinberg, and said, “The whole point of DuckDuckGo is for you to NOT do that.”
Weinberg responded with,
The whole point of DuckDuckGo is privacy. The whole point of the search engine is to show more relevant content over less relevant content, and that is what we continue to do.
Needless to say, users were very frustrated and disappointed by the announcement.

[5] A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. [6] In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. [13] The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.Proverbs 29:5-6, 13
Now it’s Duck Duck NO!
The fact that Duck Duck Go was being included in “the club” for several years now, and was openly endorsed by Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, speaks for itself. Moreover, one YouTuber points out that the search engine supports and funds progressive groups and charities, which is not much of a surprise to me.
There is no perfect browser on the internet. Like it or not, the reality is, everything we do is tracked and databased. Just because they say they do not means jack-diddly squat.
And so now the push to further control the narrative is continuing, and is the same tactics to a ‘T’ that were and are used for the shamdemic. Unfortunately, most of the views and search results The WinePress receives come from Duck Duck Go. And with these big-tech tyrants cracking down once again, I would not be surprised if The WP gets buried in the process. Therefore, I ask that you please continue to share the site with as many people as you can, so people can find the site regardless.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
